Tag Archives: Newtown Shooting

One cannot be more dishonorable than the person who uses children as weapons to create political propaganda for one’s sordid self-gain. But when talking about Barack Obama and Democrats, or progressives in general, using children as weapons to gain public popularity in order to destroy constitutional rights, is not unfounded. In fact, it’s the progressive statist way.

Rather than mourn the 20 Newtown children and their teachers, Obama and Washington leaders understand children are the best prop against laws leftists want abolished. Children are after all adorable, and their cute little faces seen reading pleading letters to the president, begging him to outlaw guns so schools never again experience the horrors of Newtown’s Sandy Hook School, is a great way to push party-line agendas and pull the heartstrings of Americans, whom progressives hope to turn against their Second Amendment rights protecting Americans from tyrannical government.

Obama’s anti-gun speech used children for political props in order to pass 23 Executive Orders against guns. What more proof do we need that Obama will stop at nothing, including placing children in the cross-hairs of political misinformation to enact his plans for America, than his actions this week?

It’s been 33 days since the nation’s heart was broken by the horrific, senseless violence that took place at Sandy Hook Elementary School—20—20 beautiful first-graders gunned down in a place that’s supposed to be their second sanctuary. Six members of the staff killed trying to save those children. It’s literally been hard for the nation to comprehend, hard for the nation to fathom.

Yes, it’s true: It’s hard for any law-abiding, loving person to fathom what a psycho did to those children and their teachers. But Adam Lanza does not speak for gun owners or Americans, he was psychotic, he was a monster, he speaks for evil, not law-abiding gun owners.

The truth doesn’t matter to progressives who want the people and their children to see guns as the threat and cause of all violence in America.

Progressives hate the fact that in the hands of law-abiding citizens, guns can stop tyrants and violent criminals coddled by leftists, who believe violent people should be rehabilitated among us while they murder us. And government should control the people. The only way for that to happen is ban guns.

These are our kids [speaking here today in letters to me]. This is what they’re thinking about. And so what we should be thinking about is our responsibility to care for them, and shield them from harm, and give them the tools they need to grow up and do everything that they’re capable of doing — not just to pursue their own dreams, but to help build this country. This is our first task as a society, keeping our children safe. This is how we will be judged. And their voices should compel us to change.

How many children understand politics and legislation? How many children know why the Second Amendment was written? Have the obviously left-wing parents of those children, used as props by Obama the other day, explained the facts to their children, or did those parents do what Obama did: Use their children to invoke anti-gun legislation? The answer is obvious, because no parent who holds the Constitution with regard, and understands the rights it upholds, would ever let their child be used as a weapon against the Second Amendment. But that is what those parents allowed Obama to do to their children.

Obama cleverly concealed his true plan against guns and the Second Amendment:

Let me be absolutely clear. Like most Americans, I believe the Second Amendment guarantees an individual right to bear arms. I respect our strong tradition of gun ownership and the rights of hunters and sportsmen. There are millions of responsible, law-abiding gun owners in America who cherish their right to bear arms for hunting, or sport, or protection, or collection. I also believe most gun owners agree that we can respect the Second Amendment while keeping an irresponsible, law-breaking few from inflicting harm on a massive scale. I believe most of them agree that if America worked harder to keep guns out of the hands of dangerous people, there would be fewer atrocities like the one that occurred in Newtown. That’s what these reforms are designed to do. They’re common-sense measures. They have the support of the majority of the American people.

How many believe Obama supports the right to bear arms? If so, why the constant mention of hunting and sports, but not facts: The Second Amendment protects the citizens against government tyranny.

Obama’s claims were: The Second Amendment is only about sports, hunting and not about protecting yourselves from government tyrants. Obama did not dare tell those children the Second Amendment protects them from government stealing Constitutional rights.

This gun-grab legislation ceremony was also Obama’s attempt to brainwash children into hating guns and gun-owners: Make children believe guns are evil and if outlawed, violence against children and grownups will never again happen in America.

Those children should visit Obama’s Chicago where violent thugs murder daily with guns leftists wont take from thugs.

There was an eight year-old from Maryland named Grant who read: “[T]here should be some changes in the law with guns. It’s a free country, but I recommend there needs be a limit with guns.” Grant further declared:

Please don’t let people own machine guns or other powerful guns like that. I think there should be a good reason to get a gun. There should be a limit about how many guns a person can own.

What eight year-old uses such grown-up language as “I recommend,” and “there needs to be a limit,” and “Good reason to get a gun?” Only the parent could have written that letter, because children do not speak with that rhetoric.

There were more letters: A child named Julia said:

I know laws must be passed by Congress, but I beg you [Mr. President] to try very hard to make guns not allowed.

Again, these children have no idea why our Founders passed the Second Amendment, because they obviously have parents who are anti-gun and do not want their children to understand that tyrannical governments destroy people, including children, if people do not have the power to protect themselves from tyrants.

But it is guns that are being called tyrants, not leaders trying to steal people’s rights. It is guns that are made to be seen as the cause of violence, rather than mentally disabled and psychotic people who use guns, or other weapons, to murder people.

The truth was never mentioned nor explained to the children Obama used for his anti-American progressive legislation. Those innocent children were thrown into the political cross-hairs and used as weapons against America’s rights to bear arms.

Craig Pusley says he got the idea from another Marine, Staff Sgt. Jordan Pritchard, who stood guard at Gower Elementary School in Nashville, Tennessee. Mr. Pusley decided to stand guard in front of Hughson Elementary School in Modesto, California, on Wednesday in a desert camouflage uniform, saying it would help the children feel safer following the Newtown, Connecticut shooting. The problem is…. he is not a Marine.

What happened last week in Newtown, CT was an absolute tragedy. A deranged gunman killed 26 people including 20 children before cowardly turning the gun on himself. Twenty children’s lives filled with promise and opportunity came to a violent end. When we send our children off to school we never think to ourselves is this the last time I will see my son or daughter alive? No parent ever thinks about that scenario. However it does happen and it did happen once again. It is every parent’s worst nightmare and one that needs to stop.

So while the friends and families of the victims are grieving, they and almost everybody else is asking the 64,000 dollar question. Why did this happen again? Unfortunately this is not the first time this has happened; but it could be the last time if we take the right measures.

From the Jonesboro boys to the Columbine duo to the Virginia Tech Massacre our schools and universities have become favorite targets of deranged gunman. Like fishing in a barrel with dynamite these killers know that elementary schools, high schools, and universities all have one thing in common. They are easy targets. These gunman know that these locations are typically located in gun free zones that present a minimal chance of an armed resistance.

Instead of us focusing on why these things happen we should instead focus on how to prevent them. We may never know the reasons why these lunatics do what they do. We can speculate, we can argue, we can debate. The only people that truly know why are the perpetrators themselves. The problem is most of the time these folks kill themselves and with them their motives for doing what they did.

So let’s focus on the how.

Every time a tragic event such as the Sandy Hook school shooting occurs, the media, the politicians, and the anti gun lobbyists turn on the second amendment. They say guns are the problem and we need to enforce strict gun control laws. The truth is, guns in the hands of law abiding citizens is what has and will continue to keep this nation free and safe. There has been countless stories of armed citizens preventing and even stopping crimes from taking place. If you take away the guns from the good guys than the only ones who will have them are the bad guys, and that doesn’t make much sense.

One only needs to study history to see that gun control leads to tyranny, murder, and control of the people. Adolph Hitler, Joseph Stalin, and Mao Zedong all took guns away from their people and as a result murdered and slaughtered millions of unarmed civilians.

So how do we prevent these school shootings from happening?

The answer is controversial, but necessary. The solution to preventing gun violence in schools is to allow the teachers and school administrators to be armed. If more teachers, professors, and administrators were armed on school grounds it would create an environment of fear rather than opportunity in the minds of these school shooters. They would think twice before trying such a brazen act like storming a school to shoot innocent students.

Some might be reading this and thinking guns in school? Is this guy crazy? Well which is worse a deranged lunatic shooting up an unarmed school or a trained and skilled teacher preventing the deranged gunman from killing their students?

We all heard about the stories of the many heroes from last weeks shooting. There was the story of the teacher who hid her students in the closet before she was killed. There was the principle who tried to stop the gunman, and the person who announced over the loud speaker that there was a gunman on the loose in the school.

Imagine if all three of those heroes were armed. The headlines might have been very different and the outcome far less tragic. Hero teacher saves countless lives by killing gunman. Principle of elementary school shoots and kills armed assailant, prevents another school tragedy. Those headlines sound a lot better than armed gunman kills 26 unarmed people, including twenty children.

Arming teachers alone will not stop school shootings entirely. There will have to be additional measures taken as well. Having surveillance cameras inside the classrooms that show every single possible entry point into the school is also a necessity. Another suggestion would be a requirement for plainclothes officers to be on school grounds during school hours. Yet another suggestion would be to have a silent alarm button like tellers have at the bank that alerts the authorities immediately when there is such a threat.

What happened last week in Connecticut is just another example of why gun free zones are a bad idea. If more people were armed there would be less gun violence, not more. There are numerous other steps we can take to make our schools safer and less prone to random acts of violence. Arming our teachers and school administrators is the first step in that process.
